• preheat an oven to 325 degrees f (165 degrees c).
• beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. the mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. add the room temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. beat in the sour cream, vanilla, and lemon peel. beat for an additional 2 minutes. batter will look curdled. combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl. pour the flour mixture into the egg mixture, mixing until just incorporated. pour the batter into a prepared 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a plate.
• to make glaze: whisk together the lemon juice and powdered sugar. pour glaze over entire cake and allow cake to cool while the glaze is soaked in.
